COMMISSIONER Sparks had 1S4 persons
tried for perjury at the last session OF
the U. S. Court at Santa Fe, N. M. That
number of entries of public lands in tn at
district Sparks claimed we're fraudulent
and that the parties committed perjury
IN filing them. Not one was convicted,
which fact is not very big boom for
Sparks, who is aspiring for second place
Cd the Democratic ticket in 1888. Many
people express surprise that Sparks and
Garland continue to hold their positions
after the pan electric disclosures, and
the stupid efforts of Sparks to rob the
pioneer settlers of the west. But the
people must not expect too much of this
reform administration.

Smart Detective Work.

Captain M. G. Cleary was in town yester.
day, and related q recent occurrence on
the Union Pacific road, ia which a friehtful
casualty was fortunately averted. On the
lsth instant, he said, the pay car left Poca.
tello Tor Huntington, Oregon, to pay of
there. Within a mile and a quarter Of
Gien's Ferry IN obstruction had been
placed upon the track which, if unob-
served, would have sent the whole outfit
into Snake river. The object was robbery.
OF course, even at the cost of murder OF
halt q dozen human lives. Fortunately a
hoy discovered the hellish plot and re.
the obstruction. He informed the
train men, and the matter was reported to
Captain Clearly. who, within four days, had
arrested two young men named Lewis
Wyndham and James Riddle, and had
them indicted before the Grand Jury at
HALEY. Idaho. 1t was as good a piece of
detective work as was ever done by the en-.
ergetic Captain.
